Does water melon change the colour of rabbit pee?

Never fed any water melon to my Rabbits so no personal experience. If you feed them the skin aswell as the flesh it’s likely that could cause the urine to become a very dark orange/red.
 
No personal experience of feeding watermelon to rabbits, but a lot of plant pigments can change the colour of urine. Some can do a really good impression of blood, others can make it very cloudy.
 
I don't particularly remember if Cookie's pee color changes when she eats watermelon, because I give it extremely rarely. But rabbit pee color changes depending on the food, this is normal. If you are suspicious about something, do not give the watermelon again after eating it and monitor the color of the pee for a few days and check for any other behavioral changes or toilet habits.
